Hangar Renovation

Hangar Renovation is a museum interior created inside a historic aircraft hangar. The museum presents engineering and technology, and the space also hosts events and performances. The new interior elements follow an industrial style linked to the original use of the hangar. A mezzanine with an open lattice structure is raised three metres above the floor. The mezzanine is set away from the exterior walls to preserve the original building. Steel, brick, concrete and wood are used. The old heating stoves and their installation are restored and shown to visitors.

Wenzhou Urban Wetland

Wenzhou Urban Wetland is a museum located in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. The building stands at the heart of a wetland area in the centre of the city. The main body of the museum is elevated, so the wetlands pass beneath it, and a boat tour area is provided. The layout of the exhibition halls follows the courtyard spaces of local dwellings. Changes in level let the lower wetland landscape blend into the upper courtyards. A roof garden forms a further layer. The building area is 20000 square metres.
